Removed for now: this should go on the page for Silverchair rather than Johns:

The band's career began when they signed to Sony Records in 1994, after their demo won the local heat of Triple J's "Unearthed" talent search. Their first album release was Frogstomp, in 1995.

Contents 1 Birth date 2 Unearthed 3 did the artist write this self- serving bio himself? 4 "Disease" 5 Vegan or Vegetarian?

[edit] Birth date

Although the most recent edit looks like a sneaky vandal, I double-checked it; and we have indeed had the wrong year .. ever since the first version of the article was created. (some google searches showed 1978, but these were wikipedia derivatives.) -- Chuq 03:55, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Unearthed

Silverchair were not discovered by the Unearthed competition. This is a common fallacy. The competition they won was 'Pick Me', part of the Nomad program on SBS. The main prize in the competition was a professionally filmed video clip. Silverchair won, and the Tomorrow clip was the result.

[edit] did the artist write this self- serving bio himself?

this bio reads like it was written by the artists own record company. it isnt at all critical. says nothing bad about the artist except to mention his health struggles.

• Is there anything bad to say about him? I'm sure he has some negative traits (we all do) but I don't think I've heard or read a bad thing about him in the media

[edit] "Disease"

I was under the impression that Johns suffered from anorexia but found no mention of it in this article. There is a large paragraph that praises Johns for valiantly admitting to and fighting with "his disease" with no mention whatsoever of the condition. --M Lyon 03:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Edit: I note that the anorexia-nervosa is mentioned briefly in the "trivia" section and would recommend that it instead be integrated into the body of the biography. --M Lyon 03:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vegan or Vegetarian?

It says he use to be a vegan but isn't he still a vegan? --Migospia 07:48, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
